Fter the disappearance of the BMW 1 Series M Coupe of the M135i is the new jock Munich. A 320-hp, six-row twin-turbo power makes the compact Bavaria spurt. It is a real cream-Engine: sovereign drafts, minimal turbo lag and finely adjustable throttle response. At high speeds, the turbocharged six-cylinder engine works almost sucker-like, one of the few turbo engines that will actually be rotated. Sonically, the unit holds back most, only at high speeds, the throaty sound. The adaptive suspension is doing decently well. There is much tighter than in the normal 1 Series , but not as hard as a board as in the 1 Series M Coupe . The traction confident turn-in of the M135i is neutral to slightly understeering.
The biggest shortcoming in the new top model of the 1 Series is the sports steering with variable ratio. Around the center position, it reacts extremely sharp, especially in fast gefahreren curves are always necessary corrections. Unfortunately, the steering lacks almost entirely on feedback - as well as help the adjustable "hardness" is not on. This was BMW too much - a clean tuned steering with a constant ratio would have been a better choice.
Very diverse is how the eight-speed automatic transmission: The "comfort" mode, the transmission shifts smooth, but still afloat. In the sports mode other hand the automaton the aisles it "scrapes" almost as fast as a double clutch Gearbox by the switching Gasse, with noticeable jerking when leveling Exchange - the ensures for an emotional switching experience. Excellent ergonomics in the cockpit: good driving position, comfortable sports seats with Alcantara cover, leather steering wheel with a thick wreath.
